Phoenix Coyotes, team of destiny?

Fox Sports Arizona's Craig Morgan argues that the Phoenix Coyotes deserve to win Game 6 against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday because 1) they out-played Detroit on Friday and 2) it would be "fair," karmically "right," and would prove that "justice can be served" to a team that "fortune forgot":

April 24, Fox Sports Arizona: lya
Bryzgalov’s eyes were a window on a tortured franchise
Thirty
minutes after the Coyotes soul-crushing, 4-1 loss to
Detroit in Game 5 of the Western Conference quarterfinals, Phoenix’s
goalie sat
in his locker, staring at some unseen and indomitable demon.

It
wasn’t the Red Wings. It was
fate. The Coyotes Phoenix history has been characterized mostly by poor
management
and poor performance. But on the occasions when opportunity has
presented
itself, destiny has drop-kicked this team back to the gutter.

Barring a
Motown miracle, the Coyotes will have played
fourteen years in the Valley with no playoff series wins.

...

Even the
team’s media relations department lingered in the
locker room after everyone had left, staring in disbelief at what they
had just
witnessed. Two goals in a span of one-minute, 10 seconds gave the Wings a chance to
close
this series out Sunday in Detroit.

And
those goals came minutes after Phoenix forward Martin
Hanzal missed a breakaway and rebound attempt that might have finally
altered
the course of this franchise.

"These
games are very tight. Every single play is a
play that can have a bearing on the game," Tippett said.

"There
are spurts where one team grabs the momentum
over the other, but it's what you can do with that momentum. The last
two
games, they've (responded with) a couple of quick plays that have put
the game
out of reach."

If karma
is real. If justice is ever really served. If for
every cruel twist of fate there is a corresponding stroke of luck, then
the
Coyotes will win Game 6 in Detroit and bring this series back home.
